Feed

This is where all the fun stuff comes in. Here you can control:

  • Posts Count - enter the number of posts you want to showcase

  • Gutter Width - white empty space between the images

  • Number of Columns - for example if you want 6 columns, you should add 2 more numbers to it. 6/5/4/3/2/1

  • Image Border Width - Option to set image borders (in pixels)

  • Image Border Color - Set the color of the border

  • Hover Color Effect - Add hover color Effect (lower transparency recommended)

As mentioned above, it's recommended to have a lower transparency for the hover color effect and here is why:

Example 1: Here you have the transparency at 1.0 or 100%
